Christian ethics is not only about principles and theories — it is about action. This lesson examines how Christians have translated moral convictions into practical engagement with the world, focusing on two towering figures: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King Jr. Both paid the ultimate price for their commitment to justice, and both continue to shape Christian thinking about the relationship between faith and political action.
